Anko-kun, 16 Years Old — Summer 2026 — Setagaya-ku, Tokyo

This summer, Anko-kun the toy poodle suddenly fell ill — his legs stiffened all at once, his joints no longer bending well, until he could no longer even stand up on his own.

But with his legs settled into place and a little support, he can still eat his meals and drink his water.✌️

Just for a few minutes, we stepped out the front door to bask in the sun.🌞

If only feeling the sunshine and taking in the scents of outside might refresh him, even a little…

Still, being sleepy through and through is the way of a senior dog.

Held in my arms, he drifts off into a peaceful sleep.

He's eating less these days and has grown quite thin, which worries me.

And on the final day — you managed a good poop, too. Well done!👍
